My hair is medium length salt & pepper gray. I just wanted to try a short style without cutting my hair. This wig was perfect and the color matched my hair perfect too. I put some of the hair behind my ears to make the look more of a close cut and I am so pleased. It gave me a more sassy look. I will be purchasing another one so I can have two to keep them fresh! I got so many compliments from ladies and even some from the guys!
